RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into a logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy (except RAID 0) and performance improvement, or both. You do not need a RAID controller to set up a RAID array. As it does not require specific hardware, a RAID array can be, if needed, relocated to

Calculate Linux binary repository has grown to 10066 packages. This became possible due to the increase of building environments up to four. New profiles are named as following: Calculate Builder Desktop (CBD), Calculate Builder Server (CBS), Calculate Builder Extension (CBE) и Calculate Builder Widened (CBW).

We are happy to announce the release of Calculate Linux 17.6, marking the 10th anniversary of the project.

This new version features installation in LXC/LXD containers, theme customization, more stability with automagic dependencies support, better security as editing the kernel params now requires a password and system update can be only performed by users authorized to do so. You will find the details below.

Let's admit it: the appearance of Calculate Linux 17 and earlier was not easy to configure. As all system tools use static paths to image files, you can not change anything unless you delete the theme package first, or create and apply templates for more automated configuration. In the latter case, you had also to think about image resolution, so that not to overload your computer with too big a wallpaper, nor to distort a too small one. And should you want to change appearances on a CL Live USB drive, bootable on different hardware, you had provide for all possible resolution patterns, at least for the Grub or bootup screen. All this was cumbersome and tricky. That is why Calculate users often preferred standard appearance, even though many maintained their customized version of the distribution.

It took us some time to find a flexible solution for unfamiliar or non-expert users, working either on a hard disk or on a Live USB drive. Calculate tools and templates were rewritten.

In 12 days we’ve got 92 participants in Russian speaking group and 15 in English speaking group Calculate Linux in Telegram. Except of those public groups we’ve opened several private groups specialised in topics of localisation, documentation, development and design.

10 years ago, on June 6th, 2007 the Calculate Linux project website was opened. Our aim was to find like-minded people, get support and move to a qualitatively new level. The first image of Calculate Linux was distributed as an archive once a month. You needed to download also another archive with a setup program to install the system. Step by step the distribution has grown into something bigger and got recognised in the whole world. We would like to thank all of you who help to develop the project, install the system, support newbies, report bugs.
